As many as up to 40-50% of the US population has suboptimal levels of B12 in their body. That means that there is a high chance you may be suffering from B12 deficiency and may respond to B12 supplementation.
In this video, I will walk you through the benefits of using B12 shots over oral formulations such as tablets, capsules, and sublingual B12. In my opinion, B12 shots provide a more immediate response to B12 deficiency and may help a number of people.
The benefits of B12 shots include:
#1. Increase in energy levels and a reduction in fatigue
- B12 is required in the production of ATP in the mitochondria. Low B12 is associated with fatigue and can be treated with B12 shots.
#2. Increase in metabolism
- B12 may help increase your metabolism by increasing the amount of energy that you produce and burn.
#3. Assistance with weight loss
- While B12 doesn't directly lead to weight loss by itself, it can help you increase your energy and promote weight loss indirectly.
#4. Increase in sleeping and circadian rhythm
- B12 deficiency has been associated with insomnia and other sleep problems. If you are deficient in B12 you may notice an improvement when using it.
#5. Reduction in depression and an increase in concentration
- B12 deficiency may cause brain fog, decreased concentration, and difficulty paying attention. Using B12 may improve these symptoms.
#6. Boost to immune function
#7. Increase in hair growth and may stop hair loss
- B12, along with other nutrients, is involved in the hair growth cycle. Low b12 may precipitate hair loss in certain individuals.
These benefits come from using methylcobalamin B12 shots or injections. If you decide to get B12 shots, make sure you get the methylcobalamin form and not the cyanocobalamin form. Methylcobalamin comes pre-methylated and is easier to activate and utilize by your body.
B12 shots seem to work better for some people, especially those with hypothyroidism, especially when compared to oral formulations and even sublingual formulations of B12.
You can inject B12 shots subcutaneously meaning you don't have to use a large needle.
